Physical Education

Physical education is an academic discipline that involves the study of human movement and its impact on health and quality of life. Although not
synonymous, both physical education and physical activity are important and necessary elements of being a healthy individual. Both also have
short- and long-term influences on the physical and educational development of children and adolescents. Physical education in schools provides
all students access to a standards-based sequence of learning which promotes health and physical literacy, as well as the motivation to engage in
the health-enhancing physical activity needed to achieve and maintain a balanced, healthy life over a lifetime.
